Default Re: are you waiting for your Bio Metric card?

I've got an appointment email and have booked online for next week.

Just found out that the physical address on the SEF portal is an old one. Want to change it to new permanent address in Lusbon but dont know how but?

I'm concerned as I understand the Biometric card would be posted on the past address.

Could someone please assist and guide me to change the address?

Many thanks

You can change or update any incorrect info when you attend your appointment.

I'm still trying to pay for ours. Problem after problem.

I now have yet another reference number and will try again in two days time. I'm taking a Portuguese friend with me this time.

Default Re: are you waiting for your Bio Metric card?

I'm a bit confused regarding NISS.

Is it required during Biometric appointment?
I've got my NIF registration document but can't see NISS on it.

If its required then where could I get it from?

Any help - greatly appreciated.

Thanks

No, it's not a requirement.

It's a Social Security number - one of the pieces of info that would be displayed on the card if you had one, but you don't need one unless you're working so it's not a prerequisite to getting this card.

You're welcome.

And a belated welcome to the forum from me - I overlooked that you were new on here ​​​​​​.
